<p>Carver Historic District is a historic district in Carver, Minnesota, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, exploration/settlement, industry, and transportation. The district encompasses about 100 contributing properties mostly built from 1855 to 1880. It was nominated for being the well-preserved core of a Minnesota River town, and Carver County&#39;s greatest concentration of historically and architecturally significant buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Carver was one of the earliest communities in Carver County. Located on the Minnesota River, it was often the first place immigrants to Carver County visited. From there they spread out to other towns and farms. Norwegian immigrant Axel Jorgenson settled in the area that became Carver in the winter of 1851–1852. In 1854 Jorgenson sold his land to a group of townsite investors from Saint Paul, called the Carver Land Company. Minnesota Territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey was part of this group. He suggested the name "Carver" for the town site after Jonathan Carver, who first explored the area.</p><br>
<p>By 1855 the town of Carver was already growing. It had a tailor, a hotel, a boarding house, a building designer, a carpenter, a livery stable, a blacksmith, two shoemakers, and a general store. By 1857, 35 buildings existed in Carver. The area was a main stopping point in trade and immigrant travel along the Minnesota River. In 1877 Carver was incorporated as the Village of Carver. By the 1890s Carver was one of the biggest settlements in the county.</p><br>
<p>Carver&#39;s future changed with the loss of river trade during railroad development. When railroads were built, they bypassed Carver, taking businesses with them. The Prohibition era from 1920 to 1933 made this worse, as many saloons and hotels shut down. Carver became impoverished. Simple lack of money protected historic structures from being torn down. There was no new building and growth. However more was needed to stop future destruction of the historic town. On June 25, 1969 a non-profit corporation called Carver-on-the-Minnesota, Incorporated was created. The group began by raising money to buy buildings in need of repair. This was the seed of the Carver Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Carver-on-the-Minnesota created restoration plans and design guidelines for restorations in historic Carver. They also serve as a source for historic building research. Their work led to even more buildings being preserved. In 1980, the old town of Carver was chosen as one of the first historic districts in Minnesota, due in part to the work of this organization. Carver Historic District contains 87 buildings and four other structures of importance. National Register signs mark many district buildings. They vary from private homes and businesses to churches and public buildings. Buildings range in time from 1852–1925. Many of them have been returned to their original look and style.</p><br>
<p>In February 1989 the city of Carver created a Heritage Preservation Commission. Their goal was to help the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Parks Department with preservation work. Carver was named a Preserve America community by the federal government in 2007. It was only the eighth so to be named in the state of Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The Rock Island Passenger Depot is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad arrived in town in 1876, and they built a frame combination depot on the north side of the tracks. This depot replaced the original one in 1888 on the south side of the tracks, and it served ten passenger trains a day. A separate freight depot was built to the east. President Theodore Roosevelt stopped here when he came to dedicate the new Y.M.C.A. in 1903. The freight and passenger depots were combined into a single facility once again in 1930, utilizing the passenger depot. The depot was officially abandoned in 1973. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building now houses a pub.</p><br>
<p>The depot is a single-story brick structure in the Stick-Eastlake style. When used as a depot it had a mens waiting room on the west side and womans room on the east. The ticket agent and a lunch counter separated them. There was also a room for baggage and restrooms facilities. It is not known who designed the building.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Creek Friends Cemetery is a historic site located northeast of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The approximately one-half acre plot of land contains an unknown number of burials with about 123 having plain markers that date from the 1860s through the 1890s. There is a network of pedestrian paths in the cemetery, and it is surrounded by a fence with concrete posts on the south, west, and north sides. The cemetery was founded about 1848 and continued to accept burials until about 1892. It calls attention to the earliest period of Quaker settlement in Iowa, which at that time was primarily a rural phenomenon. The Spring Creek Meeting was established here in the 1840s or the 1850s, and was the site of the first Iowa Yearly Meeting in 1863. The Spring Creek Meeting merged with the Center Grove Meeting in 1894 and formed the Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting. The meetinghouse subsequently moved into Oskaloosa, and burials here dropped off. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Vander Wilt Farmstead Historic District, also known as the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast, is an agricultural historic district located north of Leighton, Iowa, United States. At the time of its nomination it included three contributing buildings, three contributing structures, one non-contributing building, and two non-contributing structures. The significance of the district is attributed to its association with progressive farming and the Country Life Movement, which sought to improve the living conditions of rural residents. The contributing buildings include the 1904 barn, the house , the corn crib , dairy barn  and the feed lots. The two-story house was built by Douwe Sjaardema, a contractor from Pella, Iowa.

The house is a -story I-house, built of wood, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and rubblestone foundation. The main facade faces the road to the south, and has a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a cornice. Windows are 19th-century two-over-two sash, with flanking shutters, and the roof line has a modillioned eave. The interior follows a center hall plan on the ground floor, and has a large, elaborately decorated ballroom taking up most of the second floor. An ell extends to the left, dating to a 1920s renovation done after a fire damaged an older ell.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1798-1800 for Simeon Smith, a wealthy businessman who had moved to the area (then part of Fair Haven) in 1787 from northwestern Connecticut. Smith&#39;s relationship with the designer William Sprat is not well understood. Sprat was active in the Litchfield, Connecticut area, and was apparently hired by Smith to at least draw up plans for this house; it is unclear if he actually worked on it. Smith and Sprat are buried in adjacent plots in a West Haven Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Paradise Block Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

Two of the houses, the Smith-Johnson House  and the Seeberger-Loring-Kilburn House , are individually listed on the National Register. The churches include the First Church of Christ, Scientist , a Neoclassical structure covered with stucco, and St. Paul Congregational United Church of Christ , a Neoclassical brick structure.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood was historically the home to leading businessmen and professionals in Oskaloosa. It contains the largest and most intact examples of late 19th and early 20th century residences in the city. Both vernacular and high style designs are included. Several of the structures were designed by architects, including the two churches. All of the houses are single family residences, and most are frame structures, with five being brick and one of stone construction.</p><br>
<p>The Threlkeld House is a historic house at 1301 North Boston Avenue in Russellville, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof and weatherboard siding. At one corner, a recessed porch is supported by square posts, the corner one mounted on a pier of rusticated concrete blocks. The house was built in 1914, and is unusual as an early vernacular  house in a neighborhood of later houses featuring other styles. The house was owned until 1995 by members of the Threlkeld family.</p><br>

The house was built in 1916 for a wealthy banker and businessman, and is one of the finest high-style houses in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Ulysses Simpson Grant Elementary School is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1914, it replaced a school of the same name that had been built in 1876. The Neoclassical building was designed by Des Moines architect John W. Trafzer, and built by Buckler and Robertson. It was the first new school built in Oskaloosa in the 20th century, and part of an effort to rebuild or recondition the schools in the city. The addition of a multipurpose facility in 1957 followed the Mother&#39;s Crusade of 1956 to rebuild and modernize Oskaloosa schools system after World War II. It was designed by George Russell. Two other additions were built in 1978 and 1980. The building served the school system until 2004, after which the original portion of the building was converted into senior apartments and the newer additions into a senior center. The grounds have become a community park. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Stock Judging Pavilion is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The facility on the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds was built in 1919 by P.W. Sparks, a prominent local contractor. It is believed he designed the building as well. It is one of several structures built at the grounds around the same time. In 1919 the Southern Iowa Fair was the second largest fair in the state after the Iowa State Fair. The pavilion originally had a double monitor roof. The upper monitor was removed sometime before 1945. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Creek Meeting House-H Street Mission was an historic building in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The frame building was built sometime after an 1878 fire destroyed the original meeting house. It was relocated from its original rural location to this site in 1895. The Spring Creek Meeting was organized in 1844 outside of town. It calls attention to the movement of the Quakers from a rural setting to a central location in town. After its relocation it became a mission of the Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting. This illustrates the evangelical nature of the Iowa Yearly Meeting after the Schism of 1877, and their willingness to proselytize in order to rectify the decline in membership on the frontier. Such a move was an anomaly among Eastern Quakers. The architecture itself shows a shift in Quaker meeting houses in Iowa from structures that were long and low to this one with its high-pitched gable roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The building has subsequently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Nelson House and Barn, also known as the Nelson Pioneer Farm and Museum, are historic buildings located north of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Daniel and Margaret Nelson settled here in 1844, a year after this part of Iowa was opened to settlement by the USA Government. Their first home was a log structure, non-extant, located northeast of the present house. The present house is a two-story, brick structure with a gable roof. The wooden porches on the front and back of the house date from 1898 to 1900. The large barn measures 61 by, and was built in 1856. It is composed of board and batten construction from oak that was milled on the site. It was used largely as a granary, rather than a shelter for farm animals. Three other buildings included in the historic designation include the summer kitchen, woodshed, and a small outdoor privy. The dates of construction for the three frame buildings is unknown. The farm remained in the Nelson family until 1941 when it was abandoned with most of the original furnishings intact. The property was donated to the Mahaska County Historical Society, which now operates it as a museum. Other historic buildings have been moved to this location over the years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Influence is a historic house on Main Street in Monhegan, Maine. Built in 1826, it is one of the largest and oldest houses in the small island community, built by the son of the last person to own the entire island. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Monhegan is a small island community 12 mi off the coast of Maine, consisting of Monhegan Island, and a number of nearby smaller islands. Its harbor is situated in the channel between Monhegan and Manana Islands. The Influence stands on a knoll facing Manana Island, on the west side of Main Street, just north of its junction with Fish Beach Lane. The house is a large two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. Its formal facades face east (toward the street) and west (toward the harbor); both are five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a narrow cornice. A single-story ell extends to one side.</p><br>
<p>Monhegan Island was purchased in 1777 by Henry Trefethren, a native of Kittery, Maine. After his death in 1807, the island was divided among his heirs, and property ownership diversified thereafter. His son, also named Henry, continued to exert significant influence in the affairs of the small community, and it was thus that the imposing house he built in 1826 acquired its name. The house was divided into a duplex in 1829 to provide residential space for Henry&#39;s son, George.</p><br>
<p>The John Davis House is a historic house on River Road in Chelsea, Maine. Probably built between 1815 and 1820, it is a fine local example of a Federal period brick house, rivalling in quality those found in more urban environments of the period. It was probably built by John Davis, a local housewright of some renown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Davis House stands on the west side of River Road (Maine State Route 9) in the rural community of Chelsea, opposite its junction with Pushard Lane. It is a -story brick building, with a gable roof and four irregularly placed chimneys. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a semi-elliptical transom window. The remaining bays are filled with sash windows, set in rectangular openings, with granite sills and lintels. A single-story shed-roof porch extends to one side. The interior features high quality Federal period woodwork and massive granite fireplace sills.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is uncertain. It was not standing when the earliest map was made of the area in 1815, and is referred to as the "John Davis Farm" in a deed from the 1860s. Davis was a well-known housewright in the region, and may have built the house not long after the land was surveyed. The house is nearly identical in form to houses found in surrounding towns. Little is known of Davis, but he is believed by local historians to have also built a number of those houses.</p><br>
<p>The Simeon Smith Mansion is a historic farm property on Smith  Road in West Haven, Vermont. The property, more than 100 acre includes a farmhouse dating to the 1790s, which was the seat of Simeon Smith, a prominent local doctor, politician, and landowner.

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Simeon Smith Mansion stands in a rural area of eastern West Haven, on the west side of Smith (or Doran) Road, a gravel road extending south from Main Road, a short way west of Vermont Route 22A. The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, end chimneys, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. A single-story ell extends to the rear. Across the front stands a monumental two-story Colonial Revival portico, with a shed roof supported by Tuscan columns, some grouped in closely spaced pairs. The facade sheltered by this portico is five bays wide, with a center entrance set in a moulded surround that has narrow sash windows (two panes wide) on either side. The interior follows a traditional Georgian central hall plan, with two rooms on each side of a center hallway. The front rooms exhibit a combination of period 18th-century finishes and alterations made during a major 1937 update of the structure.</p><br>
<p>The property was purchased in 1789 by Simeon Smith, and the house was probably built not long afterward. Smith had moved to the area in 1783 from northwestern Connecticut. This house was built for him by William Sprat (or Sprats), a Connecticut builder who spent his later years in this area, and is buried in a West Haven cemetery next to Simeon Smith. Smith was a prominent early settler of the area, and made a significant fortune speculating in land, in addition to providing medical services, serving as a local probate judge and in the state legislature.</p><br>
<p>The Oakham Farm is a historic farm at 23226 Oakham Farm Lane, near Middleburg in Loudoun County, Virginia. The farm includes 100 acre of land north of United States Route 50, with its building complex anchored by a farmhouse built in 1847 and repeatedly altered. The main portion of the farmhouse is a 1920s three-story Classical Revival block, which has the original 1847 two-story Greek Revival house attached as an ell to one side, along with another c. 1840 structure that may have functioned as a separate kitchen. The property was first developed by the Peyton family, with its present buildings dating to the ownership of the Rogers family.

<p>The Dr. William E. and Ethel Rosenberger Berry House is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The Berrys were Quakers and members of the faculty of William Penn College. He taught classical languages and served as Dean, while she taught French. They were among the first to settle in the Penn College Addition. The college platted and sold these lots, which in turn helped the institution financially survive. The Berrys bought several lots, and built their house on one of them. Their Colonial Revival house was built in 1924 by P.W. Sparks, a local contractor. It is a two-story, frame, single-family dwelling that features a side-gable roof, an enclosed front porch, and a solarium. It is the Berry&#39;s association with the school in the context of the Quaker testimony in Oskaloosa that makes this house historic. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
